    Syncmaster 244T

    I was given this monitor from a friend because the screen was all green or something when plugged in through component. I wont be using component and the image is just fine with VGA. The problem is a loud hum or buzzing noise that I have tracked down to the transformer. Is it possible to order a new one? There is also a rattling noise when I move the other pcb board. I have no idea where it is coming from or if its a problem but it sounds like a round ball inside one the capacitors perhaps. Any idea what this can be?


    Image 78 has the transformer on the right and 81 has the rattling.

    Thanks for any help

      There are at least three failed capacitors on the power board.

          And the rattling is from the position sensor on the signal board. The signal board was designed to be used in a monitor that can be rotated from landscape orientation to portrait orientation.

              jsog- i counted 3 as well but ordered replacements for all of them.

              PlainBill- That's pretty clever. I am glad it is not an issue.

              Any idea where i can find a new transformer? Are transformers generic or specific to every case?

                  Virtually every SMPS transformer is designed for that specific power supply. Quite often a manufacturer will use the same inverter transformer on several different models.

                  First replace the bad caps. They allow excessive ripple which can cause damage, particularly in the inverter and corrupt eeproms on the signal card. If the buzzing is still an issue the usual solution is to saturate it with varnish.

                      I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge PlainBill. I will update when I replace the caps.

                          I replaced all the caps and so far so good. The annoying buzz is gone! Thanks a lot everyone.

                              Removing electrical noise introduced by fan
                              by tony359
                              Hi all,

                              I am working on a sound processor, it tends to overheat so I fitted a fan inside. The fan is connected to the +15V of the PSU via a DC-DC converter based on the LM2596 to reduce the voltage to around 10.5V.

                              Unfortunately the analogue circuitry is picking up the noise from the fan in two ways:
                              1. The fan is close to the analogue section, the motor itself gets into the outputs so I'll have to move it somewhere else
                              2. Even with the fan running outside of the case, there is still some noise which is clearly going back to the processor via power line....

                              Surprisingly enough, this receiver doesn't have the DSP chip issue. The HDMI board does not get hot, and sound over HDMI works fine.

                              Regardless of the input, the right channel has noise that is clearly noticeable even on average volume level. The only cases when there's no noise is when VCR input is selected (some tracks on the board are damaged, maybe that's why), or if HDMI input is selected but nothing plugged into it. In all other cases, even when no input is connected I still have the noise.

                              There's some logic behind it. As soon as I select an input I get only left...

                              Original Xbox 1.0 PSU: Foxlink FTPS-0002 Rev. B. — 12 V low, 5 V high — transformer?
                              by ohren
                              Hello!

                              I'm looking at an original Xbox PSU: Foxlink ftps-0002 rev. B. The 12 V output is too low, and the 5 V output is too (?) high. Unfortunately I don't have an oscilloscope but only a DMM for diagnosis.

                              Measured voltages with no load:

                              After rectifier diodes
                              12V: 6.17 V
                              5V: 5.67 V

                              Secondary transformer pins AC measurement (really don't know if this says anything)
                              12V: 2-2.5 V
                              5V: 1.04 V


                              I also have another (working) Xbox psu from Delta. The same measures there, in order, being: 10.79,...

                              Is it possible for transformer substitution?
                              by mikey5791
                              Hi all,
                              Got this local made DC power supply (12/14V) given free as the transformer has melted. There is no marking or indication to identify what type or rating of transformer used.
                              Fyi,. I had a busted autogate mainboard with transformer with marking 13-0-13 . Is this the 13v dc type transformer?
                              My questions are
                              1. How do i test to see if the transformer is in good working condition?
                              2. Can this transformer (marking 13-0-13) be used to replace the melted transformer on the DC power supply?
                              Hope you guys understand what i was asking. My intention is...

                              Hello

                              I have since a long time a Philips HTS8010S/01 which has been old but was doing the job.

                              Since a few days, it starts by making a weird "static" nois when switches on for a few seconds to a minute and then works like a charm.
                              Noise loudly outputs from the 3 channels, even if no signal is sent by the controler.DVD to the subwoofer/amp unit.

                              I was thinking of a soldering that was starting to be damaged and that was only doing the job after a few seconds of heating, most probbaly on the power board
